Jenkins took $150 million and made WW which made well over $800 million and followed it up with $200 million to make WW84.

At the end of the day it's a business but if the first Wonder Woman made as much as BR2049 I guarantee she wouldn't be given $165 million to make her next movie.

Though it effectively puts Jenkins in the same directorial category as Michael Bay; i.e., we'll keep giving you large budgets regardless of how good the movies you make are as long as they continue to perform at the box office.

Well duh. You guys think this is new info?

Doesn’t make my post any less true.
